We sort of figured the Big East would wither gradually, but increasingly it looks as if the end may come rather suddenly instead as the seven Catholic basketball schools basically have to decide quickly whether to dissolve the league or not.

| âThe Fanâs Guide is the essential source for Duke basketball fans in 2012. It is packed with brilliant analysis and writing by the ACCâs most astute basketball writers. I have not enjoyed any reading as much this season.â Professor Walter Manley, II |
| âIf you love NCSU Athletics this is a must read, I will buy it every year, very thorough and precise.â Richard Mark Hunt |
| I was just glad to find a magazine about Duke basketball. I thoroughly enjoyed the magazine. It was well written and very informative. A must read for any diehard Duke fan.Camille H |
| "I get excited enough about basketball season as it is, but this Guide has been on my screen for weeks now and I'm more excited than ever. Not just about Duke, but the whole league. There are some truly unique and remarkable stats in this book, enough to make you just itch for the games to begin and see how the players do this year. I think my favorite article is the one on athletes and social media, though. I've read it three times already! Great photos, great writing, and lots of both. This is essential. " PlanBee |

There was some confusion Wednesday about whether or not new member Temple could vote on dissolution. Apparently they can vote on everything but.
Dissolution would be ironic for Cincinnati and UConn as both schools tried desperately to leave but now find the basketball heart of the conference prepared to leave them behind.
There is some talk of pursuing Xavier and Butler, but things are so fluid now that no one has the slightest idea of what will happen.
UConn president (and Duke grad) Susan Herbst, who has been very active in trying to bail on the league, is now working the phones to try to get the other schools to stay.
